Two-Mann Tent Photography Blog

WOW, the last month has been an unbelievable ride. You may remember the contest we launched about a month ago; It was an amazing opportunity for engaged couples to win high-end wedding photography coverage from Two-Mann Tent. The contest is now said and done and we can finally breath again. As a result of every contestants’ amazing efforts, we awarded not one wedding photography package, but TWO. Furthermore, we issued over $8000 worth of gift certificates.  The 2+ weeks of voting that took place (in order to determine the ultimate winners) was a roller coaster ride from the start. Within 24-hours of the contest launch, the leading couple had over 200 votes. The following 17 days were utter voting mayhem and we could barely take the suspense. To give you an idea of what it was like, here is a direct e-mail quote from one of our contestants:

“…you should see what we’re going through over here, i’ll be impressed if Becky doesn’t keel over when this is done. We’ve got calls and emails and twitter accounts and blogs and we’re trying to find friends with the most friends, friends in other time zones to keep the momentum going, other countries, hahaha, it’s been nuts! I kinda feel like I’ve learned a lot though, about social media, and in particular how it relates to advertising and organizing people. Anyway, may the best or luckiest or nicest or whatever team win, we’re going go all out and see what we can pull off over the next couple days.”

With less than 12 hours to go, Duane & Becky and Kevin & Brianna were leapfrogging with well over 800 votes each.  Brianna & Kevin were the eventual winners with one vote shy of 900.

We would now like to introduce our winning couples. We spent yesterday evening meeting with them and taking a few fun, light-hearted photographs to share with you.  Please note,  Asif and Noorin, who received 3rd place ($750) were unable to make it to the photo shoot. We look forward to meeting them and capturing their smiling faces at a later date.

First prize awarded to Kevin and Brianna (foreground) and Duane & Becky. Congrats guys. Love Brianna’s gorgeous red hair. Apparently ‘red heads have more fun’ which is going to make for some awesome wedding photos! Brianna and Kevin are getting married in the spring of 2012 in Calgary.

Becky and Duane are having a big Kananaskis bush party for their wedding.  Can’t wait to join in the fun and capture this couple’s beautiful spirit.

In addition to receiving second place ($1000), Megan receives an award for the best leap-froger. Look at those mid-air poses! Keith did his best not to look scared. We’re psyched to be travelling to Island Lake Lodge in Fernie, BC to shoot Megan and Keith’s wedding next summer.
